of the several existing programmes and activities, both at federal
and state levels, to prevent and combat violence in women's prisons.

Special Rapporteur hoped to gain a deeper understanding of the causes
and consequences of violence against women in prisons and detention
facilities and of the effective measures to eliminate such violence.
The Special Rapporteur also studied issues concerning access to
health care and parenting/family programmes for incarcerated women
and sought to evaluate positive initiatives undertaken by prison
authorities to address the issues of violence against women in prisons
